Just read a report with even more evidence towards how the web is continuing to grow while other markets are receding. The report from eMarketer titled “E-Commerce in a Recession” reports that online sales increased 4.6 percent in 2008 despite the fourth quarter contracting at 4.9 percent. Traditional retailers saw a decrease of 0.6 percent in 2008 with the fourth quarter declining by 8.6 percent. If we are in a recession then why are web retailers still posting increases? Because you can find better deals, don’t have to leave your house to shop (saving gas) and because consumer confidence in buying online is at an all time high and rising.
